Re: Can't find liblwp.a on Itanium.

In broad handwaving terms, archive libraries are eschewed in later
HP-UX revs, and that is more so with HP-UX on Itanium.

I have to confess I'm not entirely sure what liblwp is used for - is
that the ancient Light Weight Protocol HP-UX had for fibre channel
networking, or is it something for threads? Depending on the answer
there may be a different path to take.

Re: Can't find liblwp.a on Itanium.

As pointed out by Rick, liblwp is no longer available as an archive
library on Itaninum platforms.
You may however use liblwp.so.1 that is shared.

What interfaces are you looking for and why not use libpthread instead?
Technically, liblwp interfaces are non-exported interfaces that are used
internally by libpthread.

Hi Rick . .

Thanks a lot for your views . . yeah its related to light weight
protocol
I am trying if I can use libthread instead because most of the
routines
are common with little difference in interface . .

Hi Vishwas,

Thanks a lot for the help . . I am trying out both the options ,
lets c which one clicks in favour . . do you any idea where I
can get full details in libthread ?

Re: Can't find liblwp.a on Itanium.

I would suggest you use libpthread. libpthread interfaces are supported,
documented interfaces and your code is likely to stay compatible across
releases and on other (unix) vendors.

for a broad overview of the pthread library and it's interfaces look at
pthread(3T).
I would suggest reading the book
